General Application Procedures

Business, Legal Professions, and Hospitality Programs

Certain programs at Cuyahoga Community College require students to meet proficiency requirements in order to progress to the next level of course work within the student’s major area of study. In addition to the proficiency requirements, some may also require students to complete an application for that program.
 
Students are responsible for meeting the admission and/or proficiency requirements for a listed program major.

Prior to taking any coursework, students should follow the regular procedures for admission to Cuyahoga Community College. These procedures can be found in  the Admissions section of the catalog,

In addition to the admission procedures, all students must do the following:

  1. If you have not earned college credit for an English or Math course through Tri-C, Advanced Placement, Credit for Prior Learning, or another college or university, you must take the English and Math assessment tests to determine your placement in these subjects. The semester English and Math courses indicated on the program sequence page(s) are the minimum levels for eligibility.
  2. If indicated on the program sequence page(s), submit a completed application form to the program to which you wish to apply. Application forms may be obtained from the departmental office.
  3. Complete all other requirements for your program as specified on the program sequence page(s). Additional details about the program can be obtained from the program coordinator/manager or by appointment with a Tri-C counselor.

If an application is required for your program, the application does not necessarily guarantee admission to that program.
